16. Into what estate did the fall bring mankind?
The fall brought mankind into a state of sin and misery.
 
17. Wherein consists the sinfulness of that state into which man fell?
The sinfulness of that state into which man fell, consists in the guilt of Adam's first sin, the want of original righteousness, and the corruption of his whole nature, which is commonly called original sin, together with all actual transgressions which proceed from it.
 
18. What is the misery of that state into which man fell?
All mankind, by their fall, lost communion with God, are under his wrath and curse, and so made liable to all the miseries in this life, to death itself, and to the pains of hell for ever.
 
19. Did God leave all mankind to perish in the state of sin and misery?
God having, out of his good pleasure from all eternity, elected some to everlasting life, did promise to deliver them out of the state of sin and misery, and to bring them into a state of salvation by a Redeemer.
 
20. Who is the Redeemer of God's elect?
The only Redeemer of God's elect is the Lord Jesus Christ, who being the eternal Son of God, became man, and so was and continues to be God and man, in two distinct natures and one person for ever.

Blest be the Lord;
blest be the Lord,
the God of mercy,
the God who saves.
I shall not fear the dark of night,
Nor the arrow that flies by day.

He will release me from the nets of all my foes.
He will protect me from their wicked hands.
Beneath the shadow of his wings
I will rejoice to find a dwelling place secure.

I need not shrink before the terrors of the night,
Nor stand alone before the light of day.
No harm shall come to me, No arrow strike me down,
No evil settle in my soul.

Although a thousand strong have fallen at my side,
I’ll not be shaken with the Lord at hand.
His faithful love is all the armor
that I need to wage my battle with the foe.

My God, My God, O why have You forsaken Me?

All who see me laugh at me, they mock me and they shake their heads:    
“He relied on the Lord, let the Lord be his refuge.”

As dogs around me, they circle me about.    
Wounded me and pierced me, I can number all my bones.

My clothing they divided, for my garments casting lots,    
O Lord, do not desert me, but hasten to my aid.

I will praise you to my people, and proclaim you in their midst,    
O fear the Lord, my people, give glory to God’s name.

John 7

I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
His only-begotten Son, our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hades.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven and sits
at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there He shall come to judge
the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.

 
May the Lord answer you in the day of worry
May the name of Jacob’s God bless you from on high
May He bring help to you from His sanctuary
May the Lord give to you the strength of Zion

When you bring offerings, may He find them pleasant
Share with you all good things when you come inquire
May He give help to you from the highest heaven
May the Lord do for you what you desire

Some will trust in chariots
Some will trust in horses
We will boast in the name of the Lord, our God
We will rise, we will stand
We will lift our voices
We will boast in the name of the Lord, our God

We will hope for victory and not be disappointed
In the name of Jacob’s God, raise our banners high
For we know the Lord will come rescue His anointed
Bow the heavens down and make our foes to fly

Refrain

We will stand while our enemies flee
We will rise but they’ll fall to their knees
Hear us, Lord, hear our cries and our pleas
And save us, O Lord, and make us free

Refrain (x2)

We will boast in Your name; save us, Lord, our God

“Be seated here at my right hand,”
The LORD to my Lord did command,
“For of these heathen I will make
A kingly footstool for your sake.”

The LORD shall send your mighty rod
From Zion’s hill, the mount of God,
To smite your foes until they break;
The throne among them you must take.

Hail to Jesus; Christ is reigning
All will bow and all will name Him
Jesus, King of Kings

Upon your head a crown of dew,
Your morning makes the old things new.
And all who see your holy power
Will bow before you in that hour.

Melchizedek, a kingly priest
In You his line is now increased
Your life, the off'ring that you gave
The price was paid; you left the grave.

 
The kings who fight against my Lord
Shall taste His wrath and meet His sword
Upon their corpses He will look
 Then drink to vengeance from a brook.

Awake from your slumber! Arise from your sleep!
A new day is dawning for all those who weep.
The people in darkness have seen a great light.
The Lord of our longing has conquered the night.

Let us build the city of God.
May our tears be turned into dancing!
For the Lord, our light and our love,
has turned the night into day!

We are sons of the morning; we are daughters of day.
The One who has loved us has brightened our way.
The Lord of all kindness has called us to be
a light for his people to set their hearts free.

God is light; in him there is no darkness.
Let us walk in his light, his children, one and all.
O comfort my people; make gentle your words.
Proclaim to my city the day of her birth.

O city of gladness, now lift up your voice.
Proclaim the good tidings that all may rejoice!

Pastor Jerry Dorris

I am the Bread of life.
You who come to me shall not hunger;
and who believe in me shall not thirst.
No one can come to me
unless the Father beckons.

And I will raise you up,
and I will raise you up,
and I will raise you up on the last day.

The bread that I will give
is my flesh for the life of the world,
and if you eat of this bread,
you shall live for ever,
you shall live for ever.

Unless you eat
of the flesh of the Son of Man
and drink of his blood,
and drink of his blood,
you shall not have life within you.

I am the Resurrection,
I am the life.
If you believe in me,
even though you die,
you shall live for ever.

Yes, Lord, I believe
that you are the Christ,
the Son of God,
Who has come
into the world.
